Here's what I propose: a three page (i.e 1500 words, pus or minus 100), single spaced essay on the topic of "What Multivariable Calculus is Good for in My Chosen Major".
Here are the rules:
1) No plagiarism, i.e. you can not copy paste from wikipedia, or the text book or anywhere else. It must be in your own words. Your are allowed to quote from your chosen source, but it must be attributed in a Citations section.
2) If you make an assertion you should document the source/reason why that assertion is true, again in the citation section
3) The essay should be structured with a one paragraph introduction, in which you tell me what you are going to tell me, a one paragraph Conclusions section, in which you tell me what you told me, and in between those at least two pages worth of making your case, clearly and cogently.
This essay will be worth 10 midterm exam valued points.
To receive credit Essays must be submitted in both electronic text (not ms word, not pdf) and as hardcopy to my mailbox in the school of mathematics.
THE DUE DATE: 11:59PM, December 7th
